We think Rob Holding will get a rare Premier League start in the absence of Shkodran Mustafi.

CB) Laurent Koscielny

Laurent Koscielny is a doubt but the Frenchman should pull through in time to make the match. If he doesn’t Per Mertesacker be forced into a return to Premier League action.

LCB) Nacho Monreal

The Spaniard will start.

RWB) Hector Bellerin

Hector Bellerin is on a good run of form and will be looking to keep that going.

CM) Granit Xhaka

Xhaka will start.

CM) Aaron Ramsey

Aaron Ramsey has been deployed a little further forward of late with Mohamed Elneny playing in the centre. While there is a chance that could be the case once again in this match, we thing Arsene Wenger will give Ramsey a starting spot after his disappointment over the international break.

LWB) Sead Kolasinac

Sead Kolasinac picked up a knock over the international break but he should return in time for the match.

RAM) Mesut Ozil

We think Mesut Ozil will be given his first Premier League start in a month after returning from an injury.

LAM) Alex Iwobi

Alexis Sanchez has rarely started after returning from international duty and we don’t think that will change today. Alex Iwobi has played well lately and deserves a starting spot.
